Tessa May is a delightful girl who's happy doing whatever you're doing! Whether it's an hour of fetch, a lazy Sunday on the couch, or simply being by your side while you work in the yard, she's eager to be included. Her foster mom describes her as a "little shadow" and an "incredible cuddle bug." Tessa May is approximately 1 year old and weighs around 55 pounds. While her exact breed is a mystery, she's believed to be a Black Lab mix with a gorgeous sleek coat, a heart of gold, and an instantly lovable personality. She's wonderfully adaptable, with plenty of energy for play and a perfect understanding of when it's time to relax. She loves people and is incredibly friendly, always eager to meet new faces and be part of household activities. Tessa has done wonderfully with children ages 8 and 10 and has all the makings of an amazing family dog. She's also done beautifully with the two large dogs she's currently fostered with, sharing toys and matching their energy levels. While she appreciates a little personal space when first meeting new dogs, she's friendly, playful, and easy to live with once she's had a chance to settle in. Tessa has also shown respect around cats, and a sleepover with a cat can be arranged upon request to ensure a good match. She's fully potty trained, knows how to use a doggy door, and has excellent house manners. She's even trusted to free roam the house when her foster is away, though it's wise to keep tempting human food out of reach! Tessa is treat-motivated, knows how to sit, takes treats gently, and is eager to please, making her a joy to train.
Ideal Home
Tessa would thrive in a home where she can be included in family activities. She would be happiest in a home where she can safely free roam when her family is away, as she doesn't enjoy spending time in a crate. A backyard would be ideal for fetch and exploration, but she could also do well in an apartment or condo as long as she receives regular exercise and isn't kenneled.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Tessa is fully potty trained and has wonderful house manners. She is treat-motivated, knows "sit," and takes treats gently. She enjoys learning and would benefit from continued training and trick practice.
